cepiable.

building their large barn that was de

Public Schools VS.. County Debt.

EDISBURG, Va, Jan. 26th, 1887.
EDITOR OF HERALD:
You will please insert the following in
your valuable paper this week
To the taxpayers Of Shenandoah County
We have a considerable amount of debts
pressing Ms at this time for public school
houses and other school purposes, which
obligations should be paid. Now, | do
not want to set myselfup as an adviser, or
TO make myself conspicuous, bnt do say
as a tax payer that there should be some
arrangements made by which We could he
relieved of the debts that are now press
ing us. Our public schools are now suf-
fering for want Of funds to carry them on
rs they should be according to law but,
unfortunately, we cannot until we are re-
lieved of our present indebtedness. Now,
] cannot speak Of other Districts, but
can of Madison We are burdened with a
debt of about two thousand dollars for
building and otherwise improving the
school property. Besides we are annually
encountered with quite an amount to sup
ply books to INDECENT children, and now
comes the special order from the County
Superintendent that books must be
changed or pupils be dismissed. This, at
this particular time, is much to be deplor-
cd. as we have four schools, the patrons
of which, TO very great extent, have
been thrown out OF employment, upon
which they were entirely dependent for
the aeeessaries Of life. What il TO be
done : Are we to suffer the county TO be
sued aud become bankrupt or will she
make an effort to rid herself Of her obliga-
tionsl We will wait 20 hear

A Murderous ARRAY.

On Thursday morning, about q o'clock
a difficulty occurred between Charles
Ward and Samuel Jewell, in rather a
shady locality known as Goat Hollow, on
the railroad, about miles south Of Edin-
burg. During the difficulty Ward pro
cured a shotgun and fired at Jewell, the
whole load taking effect in tho left side OF
the abdomen, tearing away a large part
of the side, causing his death in few
minutes. JEWELS wife ran to tho house
Of SIR. Mike Shelley a short distance of,
and told Of the shooting. Mr.. Shelley ran
to the place at once but found Jewell
dead. Ward made his escape and al
though Sheriff Wightman and others at
once started in pursuit, mp TO the time OF
going to press we have heard nothing re-
liable in regard to his capture. We have
received no particulars rs to the origin 'oi
the trouble between the men which has
led to such bloody ending.

The IirgiHian Of the 18th inst. says
"Ncmo unhappy" 1t has certainly been
mistaken. lie is rs happy as a big sun
flower" lie is not complaining Of the
length Of the I'irginians articles" lie is
surprised that is all IIo did not expect
to he noticed at least not more than once,
and is surprised that he should have "call-
ed down upon himself such series Of
facts and figures" The surprise is a pleas
ant one, however. Memo is under many
and lasting obligations to the Tirgiuiaa
for its liberal offer Of its columns hut Is
unwilling to impose on good nature, at
least for the present and willtry to better
apply "his regular three-quarter column
BREWER articles The Jirginian says
"The tariff is a duty levied on articles
That duty is added to the price of the ar
ticle. A tariff Of ~ per cent. adds 80 per
cent. 10 the price, and the buyer pays the
price plus 40 per cent. and for every dol
lars worth OF goods he buys under the
tariff he pays SliO. And the
converse of this proposition is true. Take
off the tariff aud Won take of this tax of
80 per cent. and if this is not fall from a
high to a low tax, the j'irgiHiaa will eat
the greaser and Memo may dance a horn
pipe"
How well this looks on paper. We were
at first tempted to say take on the tax at
once" Bat on looking into tho matter a
little more closely we find THAT by the
tariff act Of 1893 taxes are levied on a
great many Of "the necessities Of life
Articles used daily by the laboring classes
are taxed as follows:

Was there any necessity for making a
change in the books to be used in our
public schools at this time We wish our
County Superintendent, or any other com
petent person, would give us the reason
for this change. 1t may, if the reason for
the change be a plausible one, allay much
of the wide spread discomfort that IS
certainly felt all over our county, especi'
ally among the portion of the school
patrons who are unable to pay for the
new books required, and they are by far
the most numerous portion Of our citizens.
This il one Of the hardest seasons through
which our people have passed since the
war. and 10 bring this burden Of new and
costly school books upon ms at this time is
particularly severe, Why is it that the
books that were sufficient for the scholars
Of the sessions Of the past few years are
not the right kind for those Of the present
session Does some big publishing house
want to make another huge fortune Off OF
our people IN 1851 as has been the case in
every few years since the public schools
went into operation in this State' As the
old miner said, when the COW fell down
for the third time through the chimney OF
his hillside shanty, at is becoming rather
mouotonous." We ask the patrons Of our
paper TO carefully read the cOmmunica-
ton of "Trustee, in this issue. Our peo
pie are getting very tired Of this system
of genteel robbery and will set down OF
il "before the roses come again"

Miss Lizzie Prescott. daughter of the
late Or. Prescott, of this place, is here on
visit to Mrs. Julia A. Wightman. She
is now living in Cleveland, Ohio.
Rev. John Barney is conducting revi-
val at Palmyra School House, opposite
this place, and is meeting with great sue
cess. Seven conversions were reported at
our last report.
Mr. r. NJ. Hisey, Of this place, killed a
chicken hawk, one day last week, that
measured AZ inches from tip to tip Of
wing. BY this lucky shot 'Dutch" has
probably saved the lives Of hundreds Of
early spring chickens.
A series Of meetings. are being con-
Quoted in the United Brethren church, in
this place, conducted by Rev. Crowell
assisted by Rev. Mr Freeze, of the same
denomination. Much interest is manu-
tested, and the congregations are large.
We are requested to state that if Dr. /.

missioner of the Revenue, for our district,
composed Of Madison and Johnston

many voters
Let's ~ up to Joes No, it's too devil
ish muddy This is heard 50 often in our
town that it is scarcely noticed anymore,
Now, if our Town Council wont make a
walk to the depot, aud Of course to Joe
Holtzman's. it would pay Joe TO have the
walk built himself, as the present liberia
allowance Of mud, and the danger O
smotherng in the same, has kept many Z
dime from finding a resting place in HI
pocket. Show your energy and public
spirit, Joe, and thus make fortune.
Our street lamps must go The Counci
has decided to take them all down, except
ing one at each church, after the presen
new moon. Wehope our people will petit
ton the Council TO double tho numbe
instead of taking down those we have, a
now they are so far apart as TO be
nuisance instead Of benefit. Blu by al
means let us have our streets well lighte'
instead of going back into the wild ernes'
as that would have bad effect uppn tn
town. We feel satisfied that our tax
payers would be willing to stand ilnnof
any reasonable amount Of tax TO ha 70 tn
town well lighted. As it is our Mai
street is as well lighted as can be ex pecte
in small town like ours, but the LAM
on the other streets are humbugs as far q
lighting them is concerned. This is NJ
fair to the tax payers, as we all bear I'll
burden equally. Just give us fair pr
portion of lamps on all the streets add N
one will complain of our town not bern
well lighted.

A Terrible Accident.

II is with feeling Of deep sadness that
we record the particulars Of terrible
accident that occurred on Tuesday morn
ing about 9 o'clock, at point about three
miles and half west Of EdnbnTg. and
which resulted in the instant death Of
Mr.. Charles A. Lantz, a prominent Young
man Of that section. In company with
Mr.. Robt. Pence he went to the woods
near bis dwelling for the purpose Of chop
ping down some trees, and while one was
falling the two men stood close together
watching it, when it struck a pine tree
breaking Of limb about ten feet long
and as thick as an ordinary stovepipe,
which. anno ticed by either came shooting
through the air like rocket, the end
striking Mr.. Lautz on the head with ter
rifle force, breaking his neck and crush
ing his head almost to jelly. The I'M.
fortunate man never knew what hurt him,
and died without the taintest sigh passing
his lips. His age was 30 years, 10 months
and 70 days, and he was well known
throughout the county whore the sad
news Of his fearfully sudden death will
cause a wide spread feeling Of sad regret.
He was a son Of Mr.. San Lantz, a
prominent citizen Of this ,onnty, whose
distressing death by suicidl, less than two
years ago, while laborlng under temper
